Meeteetse, Wyo., July 19.—An entire ly new breed of hornless cattle, known as "bufftorreys," is attracting the at tention of livestock men in this coun try. The "bufftorrey" is the creation of Col. J. L. Torrey, of Rough .Rider fame, who has been quietly experimen ting in the production ofthe new breed for several years, and now announces the real object of his endeavors—the creation of anianimal bearing the hide and hair closely resembling hat of the now almost extinct buffalo. The herd of "bufftorreys" now at the Embar ranch is the result of crossing thoroughbred Polled Angus with the Shorthorn breed, producing an animal wlh a dull curly brown colored coat, that, when taken from the "bufftorrey" and tanned, cannot be told from a gen uine buffalo robe. Several years have been required to produce this new breed. At firat only a small percent age of the crosses were colored brown and these were separated from the oth ers. Recently three bufftorreys" have dropped calveB, all of the desired color, and the colonel is now confident he has solved the problem of raising buffalo hides along with the usual amount of range beef., "This fall," said Colonel Torrey, "as soon as the hides affe prime, I expect to kill one of the animals and have the hide made into an overcoat for Presi dent Roosevelt It will be the first and only coat of its kind but within a few years "bufftorrey" coats will be as common as the old buffalo ones were 20 years ago." Recently Colonel Torrey shipped in several carloads of thoroughbred Polled Angus and Shorthorn cattle to increase his herd of "bufftorreys." 1 «. #U 8#-^ •a THE /*"?***. *"%r?

Mrs. Holman could not be seen tpnight. Roger O Mara,' the Pittsburg detec tive, returned from New York today, where he has been in conference with Thaw's attorneys. As a result, all the detectives have abandoned the work they have been doing to prove that young Thaw is insane. Instead they will work on the theory that he was only insane when on the subject of White. His lawyers, it Is alleged, will ad vance the plea that Thaw, when he killed White, was suffering from "ir resistible, uncontrollable Impulse, pro duced by emotion independent of the will of the intellect." By making this plea they hope to savtf young Thaw both from the electric chair and the insane asylum. mm Mr THE WEATHER. North Dakota. Fair tonight and Fri day.
